I had a nasty case of smit fraud and spyware. Specifically Win.Worm.32 netnooster and the VIRUS ALERT! in the taskbar. I downloaded SUPERanti-spyware and Spyware Terminator. I ran a full scan with both programs and they pretty much got rid of all the nasty stuff and my pc runs fine and no more pop-ups and my system is pretty much clean now. The problem i have is the VIRUS ALERT! thing is still in the taskbar and I can't access my C-drive or programs and "run" in the start menu. Also when I ctrl-alt-dlt is says "administrator has disabled" even though my account has administrator privileges. Any help??

Jump to PostHi furyboy38109 and welcome to daniweb.
If that Virus Alert is still on the taskbar then this means that the infection is NOT removed.
How did you determine that the infection was Win.Worm.32 netnooster?
It appears that you are probably infected with Antivirus 2009, which is NOT a legitimate antivirus …
Jump to PostFollow these steps to get rid of your alert. You will want to make sure the infection is gone as if it is not the alert will come back.
